Playoff probabilities are hard. There are probably smart people somewhere on earth who know what’s going on at the bottom of the Western Conference playoff race, but I am not smart, so I am not on of those people. This whole thing is just way too confusing for me. I’m going to assume that this…

Troy Williams 18 Points Full Highlights (3/9/2018)
The Bucks could not stop the dynamic Troy Williams/Kyle O’Quinn combo tonight. Who even knew that that was a dynamic combo? I bet the scouting report didn’t say anything other than “Kyle O’Quinn: Black Irish Jokic 0.3” and “Troy Williams: can jump”. No mention of those two guaranteed to team up with the aim of…
Read MoreKhris Middleton 30 Points Full Highlights (3/9/2018)
It’s taken me a while to figure out, but Khris Middleton doesn’t really show up against good opponents. He has a few decent games against some second-tier teams, but the real elite teams, he’s nonexistent. I guess you could say the same about the lot of players, but what sets Middleton apart is the way…
Read MoreTaj Gibson 18 Points Full Highlights (3/8/2018)
“There she is,” Taj whispered to himself as paused his preparation for shootaround, instead choosing to gaze in the direction of the practicing dance team. “My one, my only.” Nemanja Bjelica overheard Taj’s love-struck murmurings and walked over to stand next to him. “I tell you, man, all needing to do is go and talk….
Read MoreJaVale McGee 13 Points/4 Blocks Full Highlights (3/8/2018)
So Stephen Curry sprained his ankle, which isn’t good news, but what IS good news is that the Draymond Green-JaVale McGee lob connection can replace most of the production that you lose when Curry is out. Steve Kerr just has to make a point of running those plays again and again until the other team…
Read MoreNemanja Bjelica Career High 30 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (3/8/2018)
I can’t take TNT broadcasts anymore. I can’t take it when they have their normal commentators, and I can’t take it when they have that “Players Only” jackoff sesh. Newsflash: joking about how to pronounce foreign names is no longer cool. It may have been cool when not half the league was of Euro origin,…
Read MoreDario Saric 20 Points Full Highlights (3/8/2018)
Dario Saric was a lot more fun when he was still in Europe and no one knew if or when he’d come over to play in the NBA. He’s still plenty fun as a real NBA player, but it’s fun to think about how the future MVP of the league is just chilling in Euro-land…
Read MoreCorey Brewer 17 Points Full Highlights (3/8/2018)
Corey Brewer, somehow, makes sense for the Thunder in the starting lineup as a Roberson replacement. He’s been hanging around on the fringes of the NBA for years now, but all of a sudden he is a wanted cog in a playoff team. I’m not even going to make jokes about how he scored 51…
Read MoreCaris LeVert 22 Points/8 Assists Full Highlights (3/8/2018)
I will never forgive Billy King for so thoroughly ruining the Nets for so many years. No one should forgive him. What he did is unforgivable. I don’t know how the heck the Nets even acquired Caris LeVert because I thought they didn’t have any picks, but they did. I just looked it up. They…
Read MoreAllen Crabbe 29 Points Full Highlights (3/8/2018)
Allen “Crabbey Patty” Crabbe: more relevant than his lookalike, Odell Beckham Jr.? I have undertook a serious and thorough analysis of the situation, resulting in an answer that I think is satisfactory: Yes! My reasoning is threefold: first, Odell Beckham Jr. is like totally washed, second, his team sucks, and third, who even cares about…
